Method
-
Prepare the banana.
Peel the medium banana carefully by pulling the skin down from the top to the bottom. Place the peeled banana on a clean cutting board.
Tip: Choose a banana that is ripe but not overly soft for the best flavor and texture. -
Slice the banana.
Using a clean knife, slice the banana into approximately 1/4 inch thick rounds. This will make it easier to eat and mix with walnuts.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to make clean slices without squashing the banana. -
Measure walnuts.
Measure out 1/8 cup of walnuts. You can use whole or roughly chop them if you prefer smaller pieces.
Tip: Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes if you want a deeper nutty flavor, but this step is optional. -
Combine and serve.
Place the banana slices on a plate or bowl and sprinkle the walnuts evenly on top. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: You can drizzle a small amount of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra sweetness and aroma if desired.
Pro tips
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better digestibility.
